General Comments

Pool is closed by order of the Health Department. Contact C. Elmore when the closure issues are corrected. The pool cannot reopen without a verification visit by the Health Department. Contact C. Elmore when the items are corrected to schedule the follow-up. 704-507-6814 This pool only requires one ring buoy and throw rope. You can have more than are required, but all that are in the pool area must meet the requirements and the rope length for this pool. Throw rope length is 24 feet for this pool. Observed the flow meter to be sticking. Ensure proper operation of the flow meter. Observed weir to be installed backwards in the skimmer, the float foam portion of the weir is supposed to face away from the pool. This should be corrected to ensure proper skimmer operation. Observed motor/pump assembly to have shifted off of the mount and it appears that it is resting on the floor of the pump room. Correct this so that the motor and pump assembly are not in contact with the wet floor. Ensure that a CPO attends the pool every day that the pool is open and that the logs are properly kept everyday the pool is open. Main drain covers and equalizer line covers at this pool will expire 10/18/2026.
